Lorena Kraus

Lorena Kraus is an artist currently based out of Brooklyn, New York, USA. Is there anything that Kraus doesn’t create as a badass artist? Nope. Video art, fine art, photography, wonderful sculptural works, beautiful installations, and lest not forget tapestries. Yes, tapestries.

Definitely check out Kraus’ website to scope out her entire body of work with artist statements.

"I am a storyteller. My art is the expression of a carefully chosen moment, captured from a larger narrative. This story is constantly playing, moving forward and changing, as each painting alters the course of the narrative. As it ignites my imagination for the next. So the road is never a straight line." -Mark Heine, Victoria, BC

In 1949 Pablo Picasso was visited by Gjon Mili, a photographer and lighting innovator, who introduced Picasso to his photographs of ice skaters with lights attached to their skates. Immediately Picasso started making images in the air with a small flashlight in a dark room. This series of photos became known as Picasso's "light drawings."

Feast your eyes on mind melting landscapes from Zhou Fan aka Chou Fan. The artist is based out of Shanghai, China, who typically paints with acrylics. We previously featured another one his bizarre yet beautiful illustrated series back in May 2010.

I love those pictures. I’ve checked the website and clearly she seeks perfection in each of her works. And is full of creativity. I find the different tecniques used shows a desire for creation more than a simple repetition of works. It is easy to see from the process documentation that the project Light Transfix is even better in real life than the amazing pictures of the finish worked. I highly recommend to spend an afternoon looking her website http://www.lorenakraus.com/. Looking foward to see from first sight the work.
